1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast. Ethan 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: Greener Garrick Allen here in the bed MGM studio, back 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: from Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the Jets unfortunately sustained handful 4 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: of injuries that we're gonna actually start with figured, you know, 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: get the bad news out of the way first, then 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: ended on a positive note because the Jets or two 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: and oh in the preseason. Zach Wilson continues to look good. 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: So let's start with joint practices chronologically here. The big 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: news out of joint practices was unfortunate because Carl Lawson 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: is done for the year with the ruptured achilles. Yeah, 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: you feel really bad for the person. I agree with 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: Robert Sala and he was a man on a mission 13 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: throughout the summer. I thought he was the best Jet 14 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: on the field throughout training camp. Every day he was 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback and everybody talks about his explosiveness. Yes, 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: he can beat you off the edge, but he can 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: beat you inside as well. Such a strong and powerful man. 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: He became a three down player last year in Cincinnati 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: twenty career sacks and fifty one games. But over the 20 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: last two seasons we talked about it for months that 21 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: Lawson had as many quarterback hits as any defensive alignment 22 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and the Jets had such 23 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: high hopes and high aspirations for him. Um, it was 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: just a tough blow, crushing blow. You were actually there 25 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: on the sideline because the way the practices worked each 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: day was Jets offense going against Packers defense on one field, 27 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: done on an adjacent field, Packers offense going against Jets defense. 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: So what did you see? I didn't on the play. 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: I didn't see him get hurt because Aaron Rodgers that 30 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: play started rolling right, So I'm watching Rogers. I'm trying 31 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: to see who's throwing the ball to, what the coverage 32 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: looks like, whatever. Then all of a sudden you see 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: a Jet down and you start taking almost like attendance 34 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: on the sideline. You're like, Okay, there's Fully, there's quinnin, 35 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: there's John Franklin Myers, and like, oh, like, I don't 36 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: see Carl Lawson on the sideline. And then when he 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: rolled over and the car started coming out, You're like, 38 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: oh God, it's you know, worst case scenario, and it's 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: never good when anyone gets hurt, But when you get 40 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: carded off. You know that the severity, you know, it's 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: a different level when the car comes out. Yeah, and 42 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: again this is a guy who said that he felt unleashed, 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: unchained in this defense. He was going to be the 44 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: perfect fit for Robert Sala and Jeff all Brick running 45 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: the four three, creating chaos up front, and then he's 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: gonna be paired with Quinn and Williams, Sheldon Ranklin's full 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: of runs of Vadakasti, Nathan Shopper, Jonathan Marshall, guys like 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: that on the inside and where were the quarterbacks going 49 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: to step up here? In two thousand twenty one? And 50 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: it just on paper it looked to be a good signing, 51 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: But then we saw on the practice field throughout the summer, 52 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: was this hit an opportunity to be an unbelievable signing. 53 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: He had never had a ten sex season in his career. 54 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: I would have said that would have been a low 55 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: bar for Carl Lawson entering uh the campaign coming up. Look, 56 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what Carl Lawson looked like in practice 57 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: as a Bengal, but as a jet he was everywhere. 58 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: He was in the backfield on pass plays, he was 59 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: in the backfield on run plays. He was a relentless 60 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: pursuit player. And I think you really not only do 61 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: you feel bad for the person, but it hurts a 62 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: little more. I think when you sign somebody like Carl 63 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: Lawson free agency at a premium position and he doesn't 64 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: even play a single regular season snapped for the new team, well, 65 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: I hope people got a chance to watch one Jets 66 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: drive because you've got a sense of how hard this 67 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: guy works and how much he loves his profession and 68 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: how good he wants to be. So with all those 69 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: things be and said, mark my words, Carl Lawson is 70 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: going to do everything he can to return to being 71 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: even a better player because his work ethics just unmatched. 72 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: He wants it, he wants to be great at this profession, 73 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: and he seems to be so positive to Yeah, and 74 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: he went to Instagram after the injury after it was 75 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: announced he was going to going to be missing the season, 76 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: and his teammates said that too. I think Fadakazi said 77 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: after the game, we're in the news conference room there 78 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, and he said, Carl doesn't want us 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: to feel sorry for him, and Salah said, the train 80 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: does not stop. The train does not stop in the 81 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: National Football League, So now this is an opportunity for 82 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: somebody else to come in and step up. You don't 83 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: replace a loss in one for one. We're not saying that, 84 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: but if anyone knows how to take a couple of 85 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: injuries on defense, is still field a very good you 86 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: it it's Sala Look at what he did last year 87 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Yeah, that's a great point. And unfortunately 88 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: that same day, Sheldon Rankins Denzel Mims both now day 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: to day with hip and knee injuries. But those two 90 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: guys got banged up, and then you fast forward to 91 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: the game. I feel like this is gonna be extended 92 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: podcast because we so much to get to it was. 93 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a week's worth, right, but it 94 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: was also like, you know, it's a little extra juice. 95 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: But in the game, then Jared Davis gets carted off 96 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: the field, Connor McDermott gets carted off the field. We're 97 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: recording this Monday mid morning, and Robert Salo has already 98 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: told the media that Jared Davis expected to return around 99 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 1: the bye week, which is week six for the Jets. 100 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: So that's an extended period of time. But the good 101 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: news is that it's not season ending like loss and 102 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: McDermott still no timetable. It sounded like that he was 103 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: evaluating his options, you know, and for we don't know 104 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: what that means, but it sounds like, you know, could 105 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: that be re ab, could it be surgery. It sounds 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: like they're still mulling over decisions. At least Connor McDermott is, Yeah, 107 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: that's the one thing you don't want to see anytime, 108 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: especially in the summer when you're getting ready for the season, 109 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: as the cart coming out. So we saw the cart 110 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: coming out for Carl Lawson, then we saw the cart 111 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: coming out for Zane Louis, a converted cornerback who was 112 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: playing safety. With a number of interceptions and team drills 113 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: that happened during uh special teams work at the end 114 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: of Thursday's practice, Lawsons injury was at the beginning of practice, 115 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: and then in the first half against the Packers, you 116 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: see Davis go down and a cart come out. And 117 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: then finally late in that first half, McDermott goes down 118 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: and the cart comes out. That Jets saw that way 119 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: too much. Uh here this week, uh here last week 120 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: is the days just are stringing together right now. But 121 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: Davis is gonna be a veteran presence there on the 122 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: middle with c. J. Mosley and Aaron Rodgers was half 123 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: way joking about it when he said that Davis has 124 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: the hardest head in the National Football leag He's a thumper. 125 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: He's a guy who really was looking at this to 126 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: restart his career after playing fourth season with Introit Lions, 127 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: and he was gonna be that veteran presence in the 128 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: middle alongside c. J. Mosley. So now he goes out 129 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: and a rookie steps into his shoes. Yeah, so Week 130 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: one against the Carolina Panthers could seemingly be c J. 131 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: Mosley and two rookies and Jamie Sherwood and Hams and 132 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: hands and Nashural Deane Hams and Nasarel Dene And this 133 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: past weekend, Noah Dawkins got burned with the first team. 134 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: So he I think that's gonna be an interesting spot 135 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: because in the beginning, Nasal Dean started with the ones 136 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: like in the beginning of camp, like from day one. 137 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: Then Dawkins got some runs, so that'll be interesting. But 138 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: it sure seems that Jamie Sherwood is passing whatever tests 139 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: behind closed doors. With flying dollars because we saw an 140 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: o t a s right. That was only a couple 141 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: of months after he was drafted. He was already calling 142 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: the defense with the second team. Yeah, JEDD's love Sherwood. 143 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: You hear Salah talk about him right, an opportunity to 144 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: speak to Jeff all Brick about him. He just has 145 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: great command of the defense. You typically don't hear coaches 146 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: speak about rookies that way. And I don't know if 147 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: it caught your ears like it didn't mind, but Sala 148 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: obviously loves friend Warner. Now, when he was asked about 149 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: Sherwood today, the reporter did not bring up Warner's name. 150 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: The guy who brought up Warner's name today was Robert Salam. Yeah, 151 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: it says a lot. He also said he's got a 152 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: long way to go. Oh, he does. And I'm not 153 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: putting on realistic inspectations on him. I'm just saying, is 154 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: that that coaching staff is really excited about. Yes, the instincts, 155 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: the length, the physicality, but also the smartst intelligence what 156 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: he's grasping so far. Yeah, I think that it's gonna 157 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: be I think Sherwood, it's gonna be fun to see 158 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: him running with the first team, assuming that he's gonna 159 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: step in there, which Robert Salis said he will. So 160 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens over the next week when the 161 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: Eagles come here to Florham Park. And you know, let's 162 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: talk about Zack Wilson's week, starting with the joint practices 163 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: and then finishing with the game. Day one felt like 164 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: maybe maybe the Jets were a little sluggish, you know, 165 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: travel right, the Packers championship roster, all that good stuff. 166 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: Day two of joint practices definitely felt like the Jets 167 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: kicked it up a notch. Yeah, I think that's fair. Listen, 168 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: Michael Floor was asked about the offensive line. He said 169 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: basically that they have to be better in past protection um, 170 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: and he was very frank about that. He talked about 171 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: it on Thursday. He thought the past protection was better 172 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: on Thursday than it was Wednesday. So that's backing up 173 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: your point there. Uh, Wilson, I know the media, I 174 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: think that's a tough job because we're out there every 175 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: day too. We don't chart sex. We we write it 176 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: down as would be sacks. We try to tell people 177 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: if they're in the area. It's it's really hard to 178 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: get a accuracy chart um. With that being said, the 179 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: Packers were bringing a lot of pressure on Wilson on 180 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: day one. I thought day one he closed with a 181 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: good two minutes drill that included an incomplete pass to 182 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: Keenland cold down the sideline, which was a beautiful ball, 183 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: and he made a couple of good decisions and good 184 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: throws in that Wednesday practiced. Then the Thursday practice, You're right, 185 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: I thought him in Corey Davis, they flashed and they 186 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: continue to show a great chemistry here and the early going, 187 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: and then that two minutes drill was tremendous on day 188 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: two because Wilson missed Davis down the sideline, shook it off, 189 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: and then come back later is flushed out of the pocket, 190 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: hits brankson burials and long touchdowns. Yeah, that was really cool. 191 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: It was cool to see the progression from day one 192 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: to day two, particularly in that two minute period and 193 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: also with the Jets defense the same thing. Day one 194 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: two minute defense. Let's up a touchdown Aaron Rodgers. Day two, 195 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: Jared Davis blanket coverage on Alan Lazard and kind of 196 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: pops the ball up in the air and Sharad Kniseman 197 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: was right there to take it down. So I thought 198 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: it was a good It was good to see that 199 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: the Jets improved from day one to day two. But 200 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: by all accounts, it seems like that work was invaluable 201 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: for for both sides really, and really for the Jets 202 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: because you think about the youth of this team. We've 203 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: talked about it a lot to go up against a 204 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: team that's going to back to back NFC championships and 205 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: the Packers, I mean, there this championship roster. That's what 206 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: Solad said. I mean, you saw it. But it's good experience. Nonetheless, 207 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: especially when you consider the the relationship between Robert Sala 208 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: and Matt Lafleur and Matt Lafleur and Michael Floor that 209 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: they all scripted the practices together, like oh, we need 210 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: to see this look, we need to see that look, 211 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: and you send this can you do that? So it 212 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: seems like the work on both sides was really invaluable. 213 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: I totally agree on that. For the Jets, they got 214 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: to see different systems, you know, especially this young roster, 215 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: especially this young quarterback. And so you're playing, you're practicing 216 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: against against the team that won thirteen games last year, 217 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: that won thirteen games the year before that, for my money, 218 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: should have beat Tampa, not a c championship game. Hey listen, 219 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: you gotta put them away. But they did not put 220 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: them away there at home. They will be in contention 221 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: for a championship again this year. I mean, we can 222 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: speak about Aaron Rodgers later, but just for anybody defensively 223 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: going against Rogers, even our practice situation that forces you 224 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: to make quicker decisions, to get better, to be on 225 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: your p's and queues every down. Otherwise that guy is 226 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: just gonna embarrass you. That's how good he is. And 227 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: then uh, you know, we go back to the other 228 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: side of the ball. I don't think the Packers defense 229 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: gets enough credit, maybe nationally, because Rogers is so good. He's, 230 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: like Rogers one of the best players ever in the 231 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: National Football League in the history of the National Football League. 232 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: What he did last year was just off the charts amazing. Um. 233 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: But the Packers got some big time dudes defensively, they do, 234 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: and a lot of them didn't play obviously in the preseason, 235 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: but we saw him in practice. Yeah, I was practice. 236 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean, they're good players. You get the Smiths unrelated 237 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: to each other, President Zadarius, you got Kenny Clark, who 238 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: didn't practice. You got JR. Alexander Adrian Amos has been 239 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: one of the top safeties or a very good performer, 240 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: probably an underrated performer the past couple of years. You 241 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: like Darnell Savage, so I think that they're that team 242 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: does have a lot of talent on the defensive side 243 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: of the ball. But you're right. When you have Aaron 244 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: Rodgers and you have Davonte Adams, you're obviously to get overshadowed. 245 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: And Aaron Jones and a J. Dillon and his second 246 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: year who we saw in the preseason game, is a 247 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: very tough man to bring down because he's just he's huge. 248 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: He's huge. And also Aaron Rodgers. I just want to say, like, 249 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: as a football fan, it's pretty sick watch and throw 250 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: a ball in practice. I just want to put that 251 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: out there. Listen, the guys a maestro. He's just so 252 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: calm in a pocket. Uh. He knows what you're trying 253 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: to do defensively, how you're trying to attack. I like 254 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: what he said about Solo and all Brick afterwards. He 255 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: didn't bring up all Brick by name, but he said 256 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: that Jets are giving me different looks defensively different prussures. 257 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes the safety is coming, uh, just changing things up. 258 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: So he liked that because in two thousand nineteen, Rogers 259 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: is very vocal about not liking the Houston Texans joint 260 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: practices with the Packers. In fact, he articulated that in 261 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: his news conference last week, saying, hey, listen, I remember 262 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: doing a red zone drill against the Texans and they 263 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: were dropped eight. And then he said, if you look 264 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: at my career, most people don't have a lot of 265 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: success dropping eight against me in the red song. Yeah, 266 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers did not like that Joey practice at all, 267 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: but he did say he liked this one. I found 268 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: this one to be a little more beneficial. I guess 269 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: that's the word to use. And you know, let let's 270 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: bring this back to Zack Wilson in the game, because 271 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: while the Packers did not dress thirty two players, right there, 272 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: I thought the press box announcer was never going to stay. 273 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: It was crazy. It was almost like he was going 274 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: through the roster Darius Smith, number fifty six seven. It 275 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: was crazy, but you know, it took up a little 276 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: bit of time, and after he got through the thirty 277 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: two players, then what happened was the Jets and Packers 278 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: actually played football, and Zach Wilson, I think I would 279 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: say he looked better this game than he did the 280 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: first game against the Giants. But you liked what you 281 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: saw against the Giants, who really liked what you saw 282 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: against the Packers. And he got a lot of recognition 283 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: nationally on Twitter. And there's also you know that group 284 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: of people, Oh, you're playing against the second team. It's 285 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: the Packers third and seven stringers, like whatever. And I 286 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: asked Corey Davis about it after the game, who had 287 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: a very nice, you know, four series in his second 288 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: preseason game as well, and he said, look, we can 289 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: control what we can control. And then he said, uh, 290 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: he said something. He called Zack Wilson young gun. He said, 291 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: young guns A good player, a really good player. And 292 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: I think that that connection was evident as well. Solace 293 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: it at the game's professional football. And then the other 294 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: thing that he talked about today during the conference call 295 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: was that you guys, the media would be torturing him 296 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: if he did not play well. So the bottom line is, 297 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: anytime you go out there, get an opportunity to play 298 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: in other team, professional players in game like conditions. It 299 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: is valuable, and let's just grade him for what he's done, 300 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: not who's been out there. In six possessions, the Jets 301 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: have scored four times against the Packers. Wilson had four drives. 302 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: He led the Jets to scoring possessions, are scoring scores 303 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: on three of those possessions, two of those being touchdowns 304 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: eighteen yarders to Tyler Croft. I think again, he's doing 305 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: this without Can we talk about a couple of the 306 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: starters who weren't on the field for the Jets. Okay, 307 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: the Jets really like those rookies, Elijah Vera Tucker and 308 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver Elijah Moore. The two Elijah's Elijah squared. So 309 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: I think this offense is gonna look a little bit 310 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: different when those two are on the field offensively for you, 311 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, those are two big pieces. Uh you know. 312 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: So I love what is happening with him at Davis 313 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: because you're seeing the third down conversions right, third and long. 314 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: In that first drive, he goes over the middle to 315 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: Davis for a big chunk gainer, third and two short 316 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: back pedals, backpedals, David Springs free hit some conversion. Then 317 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: I thought the play of the game. If you're a 318 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: Wilson fan, if you're a Jed admirer, was his throw 319 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: to uh Corey down the sideline at down in the 320 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: first quarter, no doubt, and Aaron Rodgers was asked about 321 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: that during the telecast. Listening to Aaron Rodgers break that 322 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: down in real time was like, it's pretty cool, and 323 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: he talked about that. That was one that when he 324 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: and Zack Wilson talked like in practice and at halftime 325 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: of the game. Before the game, that was one of 326 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: the things that he said to Wilson is like, you know, 327 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: your footwork is gonna have to be on point because 328 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: you know, one before, you know, your offensive line needs 329 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: time to gel. So with Rogers, he's been there a 330 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: long time, that offensive line has been intact. You know, 331 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: I know they lost Corey lyns leyan box TR's not 332 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: healthy yet. But Roger was saying for Wilson, what he 333 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: talked about was, you know, you gotta get your footwork 334 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: in a good spot and you know, if you gotta 335 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: have that clock when you can roll out, boom, And 336 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: that's what we saw on that play to Corey Davis. 337 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: So a lot of a lot of talk has obviously 338 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: been made of Zach Wilson's performance understood second overall pick, 339 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: performed well deep quarterback class. Everyone wants to compare notes, right, 340 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: How does Justin Fields play? How does Trevor Lawrence play? 341 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: How does Mac Jones play? How does Trey Lance play? 342 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: I get it? How about some players that we haven't 343 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: talked about? We think you do Wilson already? Huh yeah, 344 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we'll see what I'm not done 345 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: in the podcast. We'll talk about the Eagles in a 346 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: little bit. But what I wanted to do was talk 347 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: about the game. Was there anybody else or practice that 348 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: you think deserves attention? Because I think that the safety's 349 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: Sharad k Easeman and j. T. Hassle, both those guys 350 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: might deserve a little more attention than they're getting. Well. 351 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: Jets were banged up at safety during the week because 352 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: we talked about Dave aforementioned A. Lewis going down, LaMarcus 353 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: Joiner deal with the back injury st and Davis is 354 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: not practiced all summer. The Jets are hoping to get 355 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: him back early in a regular season, so that means 356 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: opportunities in that defensive backfield alongside Marcus May with they 357 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: fore mentioned Sharad Kniaseman and J. T. Hassell. Hassel started 358 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: that turnover fest in the second half or takeaway fest. 359 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: I should say with that force that they did not 360 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: have the right call on the field, but fortunately we 361 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: have replay and Sherwood came up with the recovery. That's 362 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: what you want to see. And then uh Knesman had 363 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: an interception of Rogers in a two minutes row and 364 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: Rogers had five interceptions last year, which is absurd. Great 365 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: coverage on the play by David's like you mentioned before, 366 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: but listen for the Jets this week, I think or 367 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: that week with Green Bay, it really helped them take 368 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: a look at what they have at the safety position 369 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: because they were challenged by their depth. Yeah, absolutely, I thought. 370 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: I think J. T. Hassel's like he had the date 371 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: back to last year. He blocked upon for the Jets 372 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: in his short stint with the team, right and then 373 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: in O T A. S we were like, man, J G. 374 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: Hassels like kind of making plays. Unlet's see what happens 375 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: when the pads come on. The pads have come on, 376 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: and it sure seems like he's had a quietly nice camp. 377 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: He's got a good way about him too. I got 378 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to him after the game, 379 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: and he's just he's just got a good way about him. 380 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: And you talked about special teams contribution. I'm glad you 381 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: brought that up, because when you start looking down the roster, 382 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: who's going to Samana spot? Most of these guys gotta 383 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: give you something special teams. Speaking of special teams, we 384 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: did not talk about Matt Avendola yet. Pistols firing. The 385 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: pistol was firing, and he look, you said it before 386 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: that he had a chance to put a strangle hold 387 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: on the kicking kicking competition. Jets have one kicker on 388 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: the roster. That's Amendola. I would assume after a performance 389 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: like he had against the Packers when he won, makes 390 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: a fifty four yard field goal, both extra points, makes 391 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: two more field goals. He was responsible for eleven of 392 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: the Jets is twenty three points. Maybe there's some trust 393 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: now building between him and brand Bowyer and the rest 394 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: of the team. Obviously, we'll see what happens over the 395 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: course of this next week against the Eagles, but definitely 396 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: off to a good star. Good points stack up the 397 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: days right for him. It's just going out there on 398 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: the practice field performer and well against Philadelphia, and if 399 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: he has a solid week and then kicks well under 400 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: the lights, that met life. You gotta figure this guy 401 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: right now as a olevant opportunity to be the week 402 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: one kicker in Carolina, right, I would assume so. And 403 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: he has a monster leg. The fifty four yard field goal, 404 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't good, it was good. How long do you 405 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: think that would have been good? From That's what I tweeted. 406 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: I would say that you see sixty four. Yeah, he 407 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: he has a monster leg. I mean, when you interviewed 408 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: Brant Blowyer, what do you say he has elite like strength. 409 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: I mean, and also you think about the benefit of 410 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: someone like that on kickoffs. You essentially eliminate any chance 411 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: of a kick return, assuming the weather is not inclement. Yeah, 412 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: you were the good point. Like the first I think 413 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: his first kickoff went through the end zone and then 414 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: it seemed like on the second one, Boyer told him 415 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: to directionally kick it um. But he has a powerful leg, 416 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: so that can help you as far as carverage wise, 417 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: he just can kick it out of the end zone. 418 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: And then also if you're able to get a kicker 419 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: in here who's not only accurate, but can give you 420 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity from fifty plots. That kind of changes that 421 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: the dynamic, it thinks. Yeah, I think the last time 422 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: the Jets had somebody like that was Jason Myers. Right, 423 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: it was like, oh, we're in in the fifty yard range, 424 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: let's go, hey, here comes Jason Myers, and you know, 425 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: let's let's give it a shot. Where you see throughout 426 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: the league, you know, if you don't have trust in 427 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: a kicker or even like just for example, on the 428 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,479 Speaker 1: other side of the field from the Jets, the Packers, 429 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: Mason Crosby, it's not known for having a monster leg. 430 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: He's known for being an extreme the good kicker. But 431 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, if you're out of range, you're not out 432 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: of range with matt Amon Dola unless you're like, you know, 433 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: way back sixty five plus. Yeah, I would say that's fair. 434 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: So if we're looking at Carolina and this is a 435 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: regular day out there in September, let's say it's eighty 436 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: degrees or seventy eight, and the wind isn't crazy, I 437 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: don't know, fifty five and in let's say it's fourth 438 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: and long, fourth and five or whatever, it's fifty five. 439 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: You might roll him out there. Yeah, absolutely, I think 440 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: that we'll know how confident the staff is over the 441 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. Big week for him, and he 442 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: excelled in week one of his trial. It's basically a trial. 443 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: Once they released in the gar it was your chance, kid. Well, 444 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: he's put his best foot forward so far. There's a 445 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: good way to talk about what's coming down the pike, 446 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: not the turnpike. You like that? Well, yeah, I didn't 447 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 1: even mean to do that, So well, they're coming up 448 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: the pike. Yeah, all right, whatever, and you know there's 449 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: a little play on words. So the Eagles coming to 450 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: Florham Park now for another week of joint practices, and 451 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: I think this is another you know, let's stick with 452 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: Amondola here for a minute. If he has the same 453 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: week that he had in Green Bay, and then during 454 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: the game, good, you know, like you said, it's a 455 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: good opportunity to be the Week one kicker if he 456 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: has a shaky week. Well, remember there are a lot 457 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: of kickers that are gonna get cut from their respective 458 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: teams next week after the game, when all NFL rosters 459 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: will go from eighty to fifty three. So let's just 460 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: put that out there. But in terms of for the Jets, 461 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: what do you hope that that happens? What do you 462 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: hope to see from this offense? Is defense whatever? Like, 463 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: what are your general over what's your general overview of 464 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: what's to come against the Eagles? Well, I'm is ready 465 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: to going to be going to be able to practice 466 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: because you know, Joe Flacco is coming back here to 467 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: want to drive after a year here backing up Sam Donald, 468 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: But that being said, you always want to face the 469 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: top competition of the opponent. But for me, I would 470 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: go to the first string just a little bit. Here. 471 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: We saw Quinn and Williams get a few snaps a 472 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: few reps Thursday in Green Bay. Robert Sala said he's 473 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: gonna be ramped up a little bit this week, So 474 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing the big guy in the middle. 475 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: The Jets lose Carl Lawson, but Quentin Williams is coming back, 476 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: and we haven't had the ability to see too much 477 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: of number nine so far this summer, so I think 478 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: that's really I'm I'm not gonna be watching the ball 479 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: as much when he's out there. I want to see 480 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: how he looks. I want to see how Davonte Smith 481 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: looks right, Yeah, because the Jets had a real tough 482 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: test last week against the Packers receiving corps. Yes, that's 483 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: highlighted by Davante Adams. He's an animal. Marques Valdes's scantling 484 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: I thought was pretty good, and Alan Lazar was solid 485 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: and practice, I think the the Eagles receiving corps obviously 486 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith a part of that. How about somebody like 487 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor You're two right, He's got speed, So how 488 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: does the Chefs secondary look against them? Also, if Elijah 489 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: Moore does practice, I mean it's like the SEC's finest 490 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: at the pros, right between DeVante Smith and Elijah More, 491 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy winner. And Elijah Moore had crazy numbers 492 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: before he opted out of the two thousand twenty seasons. 493 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: So that's something I'm interested to see. And how about Yeah, 494 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: my buddy Chris mcpigerson over at the Eagles, we were 495 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: talking about the practices coming up, and he said it 496 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: was a shame about Lawson going down because they wanted 497 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: to see him matched up with their big left tackle 498 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: over there. Jordan's helped me out. Jordan malata Um so 499 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: they love him. They love him in Philadelphia. But even 500 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: though Lawson is not there now, who's going to step 501 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: up in his place? So we can come full circle here, 502 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: is that Bryce Off two sacks last year, two sacks 503 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: first week in the preseason. Um, he got some run 504 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: on the outside. Vinny Curry, the former Eagle, won't be 505 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: out there in the practice field. Kyle Phillips as well. 506 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: Ronnie Blairs banged up. He got banged up during the 507 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 1: game again. So and then there are reports out there 508 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: that Jets are exploring the trademark as far as the 509 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: past rushers are concerned. You know, who's one name that 510 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: I've seen circulating on Twitter, Eagle Derek Barnett about that. 511 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: So that that's just something keep an eye on. Yeah, Listen, 512 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: when a guy goes down, this is natural. People just 513 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 1: start looking for pass rushers out there, you know. So well, 514 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: I think Joe Douglas is always gonna look at how 515 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: he can improve his roster. Um. I also think that 516 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: you don't make a desperate move, and he won't. That's 517 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: just not the way he does it. Absolutely, And I 518 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: think the other popular name that's been thrown out there 519 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: is Chandler Jones, because Jones reportedly wants to be out 520 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: of Arizona for whatever reason. I think part of that 521 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: at his financial situation. So I think I think a 522 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: lot of people will say, oh, well, you know he 523 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: wants to have the Jets need you know, the Jets 524 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: may want a pass rusher. With Carl Lawson gone, there 525 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: you go, so we'll see what happens. I think it 526 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: is a great point though Joe Douglas is not one 527 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: to overpay, whether that be in draft capital, whether that 528 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: be in dollars. So you know, just like free agency, 529 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have an approach. They're gonna have 530 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: a They're gonna survey the lay of the land and say, 531 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: these are the guys will target. Here's what we're willing 532 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: to give. If you're not willing to meet that, well 533 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk to you later and have a nice day, right, 534 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: You always gotta exploit. That's the other better for the 535 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: joint practices that I think might fly under the radar 536 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: is that when you're looking at approving your roster, you're 537 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: gonna be thin in some areas where other teams have 538 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: great depth. Well, your personnel staff just want to Green 539 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: Bay an opportunity to look at the Packers up and 540 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: down their roster, not just watching them from AFAR, but 541 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: actually watching them in team drills two days. That's happening 542 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: with Philadelphia coming up as well, so don't be surprised 543 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: if the Jets ultimately pick up one Packer, one Eagle. 544 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: That's not other round with possible. I think that's great too, 545 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: because you get an up close and personal look at 546 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: some of the guys that you're playing against and practicing against. 547 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of you know, as there's a 548 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: lot still to happen here right as the Jets have 549 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: two joint practices with the Eagles and then a game 550 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: on Friday that concludes the preseason, and we'll continue to 551 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: break it down right here on the Official Jets Podcast. 552 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: You've got something else before we wrap up here. No 553 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: Maladas a monster and McKay Beckton. Beckton a monster at 554 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: left tackle, so we'll see two of the biggest left 555 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: tackles in national football this week. That's a good point 556 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: and that's all we have on this edition of the 557 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: Official Jets Podcast. We'll talk to you next week.
